Tom Humphries thread

Did you hear the piece? What a weird fucking accent

Very weird.

Not seen this. What has he said now?

In fairness he doesn’t seem the sharpest. Probably the only man who ever lived who claims he was misquoted in his own autobiography.

What happened there?

Some scandal about an AFL player who posted some revenge porn on social media. Tadgh suggested the girl shouldn’t have got into a situation where the picture could be taken.

An All-Ireland final a few years back. Kerry v Cork. Ball was thrown in and he smacked a Cork lad straight in the head/face. Blatant red card. Got away without as much as a yellow card I think. (Was it Nicholas Murphy he hit, @gilgamboa @caoimhaoin ?)

Kerry went on to win and he fucked off back to Oz. Released an autobiography not long after where it said in the book something along the lines of “I wanted to make a statement from the start. I planned to hit him hard. Cop that.”

Bit of a hullabaloo after when it came out, he claims his ghost writer had misinterpreted what he was saying and it was never his intention to hit him or hurt anyone. :smile:

he should have the cork cunt harder

It was Nicholas Murphy alright.

Was indeed Nicholas.

Very good Irishman abroad podcast with him recently where he speaks about the incident. Was a cold calculated filthy move that i would have done myself without a second thought

Cute Kerry hoorism.

No ref was ever going to send a player off ten seconds into an All-Ireland. He basically got a free shot at one of the oppositions best players and took him out.

Excellent book published last few years called Night Moves (i think) which is an expose of the rape culture in australian sport. Won sports book of the year. Good read.

And Roy Keane too obviously?

Slightly risky making it so fucking obvious. If the ref had the slightest bit of balls he would have shown him red

The one topic that is guaranteed to draw out the weirdos in our society is paedophilia.

Gets worse every time you see it. Was a shocker.

Wasn’t a sports book in any way shape or form though.

Agreed. A book about sportspeople
